It's VALUABLE out here!

Our nature preserves like Black River Sanctuary are a convenient retreat away from the busy centers and suburbs that are, let's face it, only getting busier. With forests, meadows, and mountain streams, these high conservation value lands are the counterweight to an ever-urbanizing Lehigh Valley. And, they're protected because our giving community (people like you!) knows that nature is critical to quality of life.

This last weekend, Sunday was National Hiking Day.

(You're telling us that's not every day?!)

This day is celebrated to encourage people to enjoy local trails like those at our Black River Sanctuary and other nature preserves. They support our quality of life and quality of place by creating a healthy, sustainable future.

We hope these words from Leslie Billowitch, president of Lehigh Valley Road Runners, inspire you to match your passion for the outdoors with action by donating to sustain our Black River Sanctuary for future generations forever.
